Metal scholars, welcome to another Sleep Token chapter! This new video is an offering to the attempt at understanding the message that we get through Vessel on "Thread The Needle", the first song from their very first EP, self-released in 2016.
In the last video I worked on the overall concepts of their first EP... this one is about the music video and the lyrics. So much more is unveiled when we stop and analyze the main symbols that are given to us: the needle, the apple and the moon.
I hope you like it and I ask you to please hit the bell button and also the like icon, please share with other worshippers and let's create a space to discuss all things Sleep Token. Worship

The apple is presented to us. “Take a bite”. Temptation. Brilliant.

@alextamulis 3 месяца назад

Absolutely, Rusty! Amazing lore since the very beginning.

I think you hit the nail on the head for the most part. My interpretation is that, we are listening to Vessel's spiritual awakening. Cherry blossoms are a sign of fortune, good things to come, and accepting things for how they are. The needle can also be similar to swords in tarot. There are 10 needles in the picture, even though not all of the needles are piercing the apple, the 10 of swords in tarot represent endings and the need to let go of old patterns and beliefs. It can also represent pain and betrayal from difficult situations. Also silver needles are associated with the moon and represents intuition and reflection. In Japanese culture sewing needles were used in the art of embroidery which was seen as a act of meditation. I think the apple is a symbol of love, sin, knowledge, and sensuality. The apple, though pierced, is still intact and I believe the needles are Vessel's ego and the apple is his spiritual growth. Also I didn't see the needles with the cherry blossoms but the 2 of swords in tarot represents conflict in a difficult situation and you have to choose how you are going to handle the conflict.

The tarot was my first thought as well, and swords were brought to mind also

That's an amazing analysis, Ryan, it gave me new ideas to think about these symbols and their connections, thank you so much!

We do care about who he was before and there was music before you just might not have discovered it yet but those songs are really dark heart breaking and so sad. And if you were to hear those songs you can probably understand why he kinda reinvented himself or was reborn through sleep

Seriously, it is amazing to exchange info and ideas with people from various walks of life and gain insights into perspectives, and a deeper connection with the band. So, again, thank YOU for taking the time to share your ideas with me. :)

Hi Viktoria, I'm so glad to hear it, what an amazing theme to explore on your thesis! I hope it all goes well, please let me know how it turns out, I do think Sleep Token offers material for lots of academic studies. Thanks again :)

This is remarkable stuff. Thank you so much for sharing your interpretations with us. You make such a compelling case and I am in awe of this artistic genius. As you say, there is so much to discuss that the length is wholly justified. Can’t wait for ‘Fields of Elation’ on Saturday. W O R S H I P

@alextamulis Год назад

Hey Luke, thank you! Nice to meet you, your video on the Lore was a gem. I totally understand that you might see things from a different perspective, the fun thing is to trigger hypotheses and directions according to the words that Vessel has given us, haha. The universe of possibilities is not endless, we can narrow it to certain contexts due to his choices, which gives me hope, haha. Cheers, dude, all the best! :)

@SleepTokenLuke Год назад

@@alextamulis Nice to meet you as well! And thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the lore video :) I absolutely agree with you. In the end there are facts and then there is interpretation. For the latter, you can't take ownership and proclaim any one train of thought as the correct interpretation, no matter how substantial your basis for it might be. With that being said, doing analysis and substantiating your reasoning does give it more logical value than just writing one line with some random claim. Neither are necessarily right or wrong, but in any case the fun part is exploring the different paths and ideas, and I'm always interested to go on the journey that someone else has created from their point of view :) Keep up the good work brother! I will see you around o/

@Strangr-Dangr Год назад

When you talk about the new album being something amazing that we will look back from the future and see this masterpiece being reveled, paraphrasing a bit there, it gave me chills. The energy with each song being released is palpable. Seeing them live will be intense! Hoping for a late summer or fall of 2023 US tour.

@alextamulis Год назад

That's how I feel as well! I really want TMBTE to be their magnum opus, or at least one of them, an important milestone in their career. And it's incredible to be able to witness this type of development, cause with the other bands I like, I was too young or not even born when they reached their peak, haha. I hope you can see them live, I'm also hoping to do that, either in July or next year.

@davidjohnson9132 3 месяца назад

Just starting on your analysis journey. Loved it so far. I always see Sleep as a black mist and The heavy breakdown at the end to me is it picking up Vessel and they swirl and rage together.

I love to listen to Two... actually, both One and Two have a special place in my heart. Nazareth is my favorite on Two, but it is the most hermetic and complex of them, hehe. Feelings of anticipation are suddenly kicking in lol

Symbols is your book?

@alextamulis 3 дня назад

I wish it was, innanussman4388! It's actually from Penguin Publishers, it's a dictionary of how symbols were mainly used in history to convey meaning in folklore, literature and artistic expression. But I'm working on a book about heavy metal and its relationship with symbols and symbolism, but it'll take me a while to finish my research and publish, but it'll be out on my future Metal Scholars website :)
